Editorial Reviews

Katharine Hepburn was one of the silver screen's most cherished and admired performers and star personalities. She could play anything from a naïve young actress to a no-nonsense lawyer or a venerable grand dame.

This collection of Hepburn's most memorable movie trailers celebrates the work of one of the world's most treasured actresses through a career that spanned seven decades, earning her an impressive four Academy Awards® for Best Actress along the way.

All of her great movies are featured including Little Women, Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, State of the Union, The African Queen, Suddenly Last Summer, Long Day's Journey Into Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, The Lion in Winter and On Golden Pond.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware! No Films at All !!, April 14, 2004

This review is from: Katharine Hepburn: Film Collection (DVD)

One would assume, from the title, that this DVD perhaps contained a few Hepburn films. No such luck. It's nothing but a collection of trailers / previews of numerous B&W Hepburn films. By the time I took this purchase out to view, it was too late to return.
I feel ripped off.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what it seems, March 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Katharine Hepburn: Film Collection (DVD)

This DVD has no movies on it, it is basically a listing of her top movies. The DVD plays the original movie reel intro's from the adverts in the cinema pre release of the film. Still interesting to watch.But really its only advertising.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for what it is, February 1, 2007

This review is from: Katharine Hepburn: Film Collection (DVD)

One would assume, from the title that this is a collection of Hepburn's films???

One might also assume (if one were not as stupid as other reviewers) that it is not. One might read product descriptions, instead of making wild assumptions based loosely on the title alone. One might also assume, at this price, that it can not possibly contain a "collection" of movies. It would certainly cost more, say, around the price of the "signature collection" series.

That being said (and I felt it had to be):

This is a fine collection of Hepburn's trailers. If that is what you're after, its a very good buy.
However, I found it a bit pointless. For me, I would just try and buy the films on dvd, and they would come with the trailers as bonus features.
But again - for what it is..a very good collection of movie trailers.
